inept

o n e

when I met you
you seemed perfect.
with a glint in your eyes
and a smile in your face
you seemed flawless.

and then we started to talk.
and we talked some more
and we talked and talked and talked
and the more we talked
the deeper i fell.

you weren't perfect
not even close
the more we talked
the more imperfect you seemed

and the deeper i fell in love.

i in love with an imperfect person
i fell in love with your imperfections.

i wish you could see yourself
the way i do.
i wish you'd fall in love with you.
